Hey,
I just flashed the firmware from another region and I have no idea why but it has failed at the end of the transfert.
Now I've got the blue screen saying that I need to connect my device to my computer and use the Emergency recovery function in SmartSwatch but it doesnt recognise my device...
I tried to reinstall the driver, change the usb port but it keeps failing!
Any idea?
I still have access to the download mode but when I try with the same file it failed, I'll try to download another firmware to see if it works.
Thanks
Connect it to Kies on your computer and use Kies factory firmware recovery setting to get your phone back up and running.
Neither Kies, Kies3 or Smart Swatch was able to see my device???
However I was able to flash the firmware using Odin :good:
I may try to re-download and install again a firmware from another region but it's pretty scary now
Yeah I know it's pretty stupid but I really want this TWRP to be working^^

Ok now I have download but no software recognises my phone and Odin fails...
By forcing my mobile to go into download mod (push Home Button + Volume Down+Power) after a couple of attempts it finally goes into the download mod.
If you can go into the download mod but OdinPC still doesn't work you have to try with another computer but if you can't go into download mod....
Hope you can fix it
even i have the same issue with my phone, its not detected by smart switch or any kies at all and now my phone is just a brick, plz help.
did you try to downgrade your os?
if so you need a firmware equal or bigger than the one you installed.
once you enter your sn in smart switch it will start downloading fw for your phone, and store it temporary in a temp folder.
From there you can copy fw to some other location on your disk, and flash it via Odin.
Use odin to load the stock AP file. Solve my problem.

I have the samsung galaxy s 4g. First off it can get into download mode, with the yellow triangle. Second, It's recognized in normal mode i.e., mass storage, samsung kies, media. Odin also recognizes it in normal mode as 0:COM. Though when starting in download mode windows tries to install it but fails and says usb not recognized. Also Odin no longer shows it as 0:COM. Any suggestions?

The answer IS out there, I found it when I first started... But, here's the spoon:
1 Start Odin, plug in phone while it is off and battery out
2 hold the volume up/down buttons and insert battery
3 If Odin does not recognize phone then, reinstall the drivers
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2

Can you see enough of the screen to root your phone? I would recommend rooting it, downloading sgs kernel flasher, downloading a cwm kernel, flashing it, then reflashing through cwm stock gb and see if it fixes it. It might be a hardware issue though. Have yet to hear somebody say their screen stopped working after using kies.
Use the first link in my signature for detailed directions, links and downloads.
You don't need to **** with ODIN. I recommend my method. No ODIN
It's a bad download... Happened to me when I first updated to 2.3.6 via kies...

Hello, this is my first post in XDA and i would like to thank everyone for making all these resources and information available online.
Ok here is the story:
I was trying install SlimBean 4.2.2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185107 on my SGH-T679. I had TWRP on the phone. The problem came with the gapps( well not sure the download link is not working) i could not find the gapps for the rom. Every time i flash, after rebooting some of the apps were not working correctly..eg it keep saying calender storage is not responding. So the phone was sluggish and kept freezing.
I tried re-flashing with the latest gapps 4.4.2 on the SlimBean official website but it was not working correctly either cause the rom was version 4.2.2 and UNOFFiCIAL.
So i decided i tried the previous gapps in this thread to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029362 and reflash it. now After rebooting and the phone start up, it got stuck in " unfortunately the process com.google.prosess.gapps has stopped'..then i press ok...it gives unfortunately setup wizard has stopped and keeps saying that forever
i thought it was no big deal:silly: i just reflash it again but now i cannot go in recovery mode anymore. Everytime i reboot the phone and press V+ it does nothing... it just continue...show the SlimBean logo and get stuck in the setup wizard thing. I even connected the phone my computer , i cant access the exter sd card folder either..
The only thing that is still working is the download mode .. when i reboot the phone and press v- it does go to download mode.
So guys what course of actions should i take to resolve this issue? I cant fasboot to reinstall the recovery cause my computer (windows 8.1) cannot correctly detect my phone when it is not working. do i need to download odin?
I would appreciate any help

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks
The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.
Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.
Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.
Report back
thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help
If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.
G920TUEU3COK1_G920TXAR3COK1_G920TUEU3COK1_HOME.tar.md5
G920T1UVU3DOI5_G920T1TMB3DOI5_G920T1UVU3DOI5_HOME.tar.md5
Reflash your phone with one of this ROM will help you to make your problem resolved 100%
Previously, I've talked about how I bricked my G920T by using an apk to try to root my phone.
Then I tried to do a factory reset with the stock recovery but it wouldn't even go into the stock recovery. So I flashed TWRP and wiped the whole phone including the system partition.
Then I tried to flash a stock 6.0.1 firmware to the phone but doing so did not improve the situation as my phone still won't boot. Even worse, when I power my phone, all I see is the blue LED indicator, no Samsung logo, nothing.
Then I tried to flash a custom ROM like XtreStoLite but that didn't fix anything either.
When I use TWRP or the stock recovery, the error "failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" comes up on the log. I tried using the ADB method to fix it but my phone would not get recognized by ADB probably because USB debugging isn't on by default.
I cannot shut down the phone without having it charged to a power source then holding down PWR+DOWN VOLUME+HOME until the screen shuts off.
When I enter download mode, I don't see the warning screen, I enter the download mode directly.
It will warm you when you enter download. Or use TWRP and reboot into Download.Once in download flash the ROM using Odin. Get the latest one from SamFirm.
P.S. Next time root using CF Auto Root

It doesn't warn me when I enter download mode, that's one of the problems.
I tried flashing the official ROM using ODIN, it still won't boot because of the efs error.
1) Download the latest SmartSwitch
2) Click on more -> Emergency software recovery and initialization
3) Go into Device initialization, enter your model name, search for it and proceed as advised by the assistant
That should fix everything, otherwise:
1) Download the latest official firmware for your model, the 4-File (or 3-File) Version
2) Use latest ODIN, check repartition in options
3) Select all the files and flash it
If EFS or DRK is corrupted, flashing roms, custom or not won`t help, it can be fixed via repair box maybe (Octoplus/Z3X)
Try to flash CF auto root for your model, if it still won`t boot, then find someone with a box to try to help you remotely or not.
But Smart Switch emergency initialization with phone sn would be the first thing I would try.

Well if you know someone who have a box, it doesn`t have to be remotely.
If not, it is possible to fix it remotely, with help of usb hub (FlexiHub or similar), tunneling (TeamViewer or similar) and box software (you connect phone to your computer, the other guy connects box to his computer, both of you are connected through a gateway to a wonderfull thing called internet, and everybody is happy ) .
Same as on site, just with few more things in between the phone, and the box.

The S/N sticker on the back of the phone is long gone, is there any other way I can find it besides from going into settings because I can't do that?
EDIT: I am able to borrow a friend's serial and got the firmware installed.
The Samsung boot logo is back now, however, the device still won't boot. The efs error is still there but the download mode warning sign came back.
EDIT #2: Okay, I flashed TWRP now and ADB is working once again. Can I utilize this to fix the efs error?
Hello. i think i bricked my phone by trying to update from micro sd with an update for a different version. It can only go into download mode and recovery mode. I treid to follow other guides using Odin to try and fix it but when i connect the phone in download mode to the PC, Odin does not register this. There is nothing wrong with the cable or USB port either. The phone does register though in recovery mode, but nothing happens during this. Please let me know what I should do.
edit: another thing, i also tried using samsung kies to do the same thing, but the phone gets stuck on connecting and doesnt go any further
also, is it actually possible for this phone to run android 4.0+? or did I just ruin a perfectly good phone.
Thanks, adz09
